new bow add.

Bowtechs are great bows.  D rock just hates on them cause he shoots some other over priced brand and like most archers, he thinks the gear he uses is the only gear that works.
And Martin the bow company burned down awhile back.  Sounds like they are rebuilding.

I've seen a couple sneak peaks of the now on Facebook but haven't seen a full picture of the bow yet.

Yeah they all break d rock.  Never the other brands...  I've had two bowtech in eight years both still function un broken. 

One guy I know goes threw Martin limbs like water though.  Pantera something.  Cost him a lot and snap!  every year.  One year twice.

Comparing todays Martin to ones just three years ago isn't a fair comparison.  Completely different limb design.  Sort of like comparing todays CPX Bowtech to those early Club and Hinge Bowtech exploders.  The new Martin limb should be comparable to the newer crazy good Bear limb. Its exactly what we had intended to do had we won the right to purchase Martin.  I haven't agreed with everything the new ownership has done, but they got it right with the new limb!

Some pics.  I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed.

in what?

It should eliminate the normal issues of cam lean in a Binary.  But I don't care much for that type of yoke donut.  Dealt with those on the Monster cam and making strings for them is a PITA.  Seems as though they added a little more room in the heal position on the bridged riser.  If true that makes a super improvement.  Adding that Mathews type riser hook for the additional dampener looks unnecessary.  But screwing up a perfectly nice looking riser with something funky is sort of a Martin tradition...isn't it? 

With that limb and dual track binary I expected more speed for 6.5" brace height.  If speeds were going to be run of the mill I would like to have seen them keep 7".   Myself, I'd rather have a 7-7.25" 325fps bow than a 6.5" 333 bow.  Might be a decent trade off for D-Rock at 27" though.

Definitely headed in the right direction!  Important to realize this is just the beginning of a new Martin.  Future looks exciting.   Well, exciting until you see how ugly the carbon riser bows are!   Man, those are not so pretty.

Carbon bow for $499.

Hoyts only work from tree stands 

Not true, i shot my deer from a blind with mine. 

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Yeah the dampeners if that's what those are are ridiculous.  I'll stick with my bowtech.

I have no manufacturer allegiances.  I have a Diamond from before they were bought out, and this year, I decided it was time to step up to a newer, faster bow.  I did a lot of research, and yes, I saw the Bowtech limb problems.  That just told me to stay away from laminated limbs! 
After a lot of research, I was able to buy a Bowtech Carbon Knight (no longer in production, but I found some "leftovers") for about 480.  This bow is as fast and lighter than the Hoyt Carbon Spyder, which costs $1,600.  The Bowtech has an adjustable draw length that doesn't require a bow press, and is just an all around good value.  My buddy who bought the Hoyt was kicking himself after he saw my Bowtech and realized it cost less than half of his bow. 
The Hoyt is a fine bow, as are many other makes.  It's just like anything else, Remmington vs. Winchester, Ford vs. Chevy, blondes vs. brunettes, if you look hard enough, you can find flaws in anything you want to disparage.  I certianly recommend Bowtech, but I don't know enough about any other bow to offer pros and cons from personal experience.

Bowtech's limb issues have been with only one laminated limb.  All the rest have been C&H limbs like you have on the Knight.
